    Came here to say the same thing! How do you perfect perfection? Hop venom is certainly top 3 DIPAs available in WA and RPM is fantastic too. Sad more bars wont get it but that means other breweries have a chance to fill the void!! Some great stuff on the horizon for us in WA:wink: shhhhh

    I'm a bit bummed about the news. Mostly about them not adding new accounts, I keep hoping that they expand into Northern California, but it sounds like I'll have to keep waiting for that.

    That's the problem I have as well. No matter how much I like a particular beer, I prefer not to get a growler of it. Invariably, I end up drinking more of it, and/or more quickly, then I would if I had access to the same beer at a bar. The only time I get a growler now is for a party or for a tasting event.

    Fortunately, obtaining Boneyard stuff is pretty much a non-issue for me here in Eugene. RPM is available pretty much all over town, and even hop venom is pretty easy to find most of the time.

    I'm not bummed either. While cans would be more convenient for me, I am sure canning would drive up demand and make it just that much more difficult to find. Keep the NW well stocked, I am fine with that. My trading partners will live without it.

    They need to concentrate on getting out of small markets like Bend/PDX/Seattle and get some accounts in Spokane, where they can really showcase their beer with the best of the best.

    That's a bummer, but totally understandable.

    Growler fills of Boneyard are easily obtained. I typically get a $5 mini-growler fill of RPM every other week at 99 Bottles. Blue Star always has it on tap and does fills as well.

    That's a pretty sweet deal for that beer.

    Is Below Grade distributing to WA, or was that a haul from Bend? I really like that sour IPA.

    Haul from Bend (everything aside from Logsdon and Icicle).

    I didn't know Blue Star filled growlers. I always order an RPM when eating there (except w/ breakfast :wink:). 99 Bottles is out of my range unfortunately.

    I work down south so stopping in at 99 Bottles on the way home is pretty easy.

    And yeah, Blue Star will do a fill of anything on tap. Not sure what they charge.

    Is it pure coincidence that every comment of "Doesn't bother me!" when I look to the left says "Oregon"?

    I think not.

    It's a bit of a downer. We don't get it often on tap here in the sticks, so I was hoping to score some cans. Oh wells, I'm sure I'll stay hydrated somehow.

    Do they mean no canning until the next hop harvest (not directed at ramnuts specifically)? Canning lines aren't cheap, so I assume they've delayed canning rather than planning to let the machine sit idle forever. It's just a question of when they have the time, money, and ingredients to get it going.
